I really don't like plays or movies that service propaganda.
Alan Alda
Testosterone Poisoning: … Until now it has been thought that the level of testosterone in men is normal simply because they have it. But if you consider how abnormal their behavior is, then you are led to the hypothesis that almost all men are suffering from ‘testosterone poisoning.’
Alan Alda
Kids are natural scientists.
Alan Alda
You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.
Alan Alda
I try to find out what there is in the character that in a way, you can't put into words. If I could put it into words, then it wouldn't be a performance. And if I do put it into words, as I play it, I start to get boxed in by those words.
Alan Alda
Republicans are as capable of coming up with great ideas and moving this country along as anyone - they just don't do it.

I had never really wanted to be famous. Everyone is supposed to want to be rich and famous, but as a boy I never knew what rich was, and the first view I had of famous made me leery.
Alan Alda
When does she do all this thinking? We're together all the time but she thinks deeply about things and with feeling and she can remember the facts. We've been married 48 years.
Alan Alda

Alan Alda
And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.
Alan Alda
I have thought about punching people out. Sometimes, I've thought, 'Why don't I just act on that impulse?' But then, I've never hit anybody in anger. Hey! I've never hit anybody for fun.
Alan Alda
I've sat looking down into a volcano that could blow at any moment I've helped catch a shark and several rattlesnakes I let a tarantula walk across my hand, and I ate rat soup.
Alan Alda
The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart.
Alan Alda
In the midst of the sense of tragedy or loss, sometimes laughter is not only healing, it's a way of experiencing the person that you've lost again.
Alan Alda
Jean Paul Sartre says in No Exit that hell is other people. Well, our task in life is to make it heaven. Or at least earth.
Alan Alda
After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life.
Alan Alda
I find myself going to places where I really have no business, speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.
Alan Alda
My relationship with science is as someone who's curious and hungry to know, hungry to understand. So all I have to offer is my ignorance and my curiosity, which is a good combination, as long as they come together.
Alan Alda
I'm in this wonderful position where I can do what interests me. And whatever comes along that interests me, I do. The rest of the time I bother scientists about communicating.
Alan Alda
As an artist, as an actor, as a writer, you have to use what's personal to you. You have to be personal about your work otherwise, it doesn't ring true.
